Study of Factors with Effects on Tracked Vehicle Driving Resistance Basis of Bekker Theory

Tracked vehicle usually travels in soft ground, so the driving resistance is more complicated. In this paper, Terzaghi ground bearing capacity theory was analyzed. According to Baker pressure - settlement formula and retaining wall theory, compaction resistance and bulldozing resistance of the tracked vehicle were deduced basis of conservation of energy. Factors with effects on tracked vehicle driving resistance were analyzed by matlab simulation. The driving resistance variation was obtained. Theoretical support for tracked vehicle in soft ground running was provided.
